For Riley, Wright was a true innovator, and for that, people are prepared to pay the price to keep his buildings going. "It appears to me that there are quite a few people who are willing to forestall the effects of time when it comes to Wright's work. The big problem is not the public structures, where there are larger resources to draw upon, but the single family homes. Even the most devoted and houseproud owners will find the costs to be a considerable burden."

and thats why wright's private homes carry only a 20% premium over comparable homes.
